Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of Kaempferol IL-1β-induced ECM deposition NPCs were exposed to IL-1β stimulation (10 ng/ml, 24 h), treated with 10 μM kaempferol, and examined for the mRNA and protein levels of aggrecan, collagen II, SOX9, FN1 (A–B), MMP3, MMP13, ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5 (C–D) using qRT-PCR and Immunoblotting, respectively. . One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test. N = 3, ∗∗p < 0.01, compared to PBS group; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, compared with IL-1β group.
